Lowering springs didn't lower car AT ALL!!
I bought the Canuck lowering springs for my 06 Monte Carlo and it didn't lower it at all! I only put the back ones on so far and dropped it and it was still the same height. Any help?? Did I accidentally put the front ones on the rear???

Did it say how much it was suppose to lower it? New spring setups also take a few days/miles for them to settle, so it could get a bit lower.

Any time I jack up the car and have the wheels dangling (extending the suspension) and set it back down, it sits a little higher.
Like Keane mentioned, you may need to let the suspension settle (sometimes hopping in and going for a ride helps).
Plus depending on how much lower you are going, you old parts may have been worn out giving you some of that drop unintentionally.
Just food for thought.

Have you owned the car since new? Are you sure it did not already have lowering springs installed? I like Jason's theory that the older weaker spring were lowering already too.

Agree with Jason and others 100%
Go for a ride and see if they settle, if not then either it had lowering springs already or the old springs were worn out with major sag

Nevermnd i over reacted lol after I put all the other springs on and took it for a ride it dropped down a lot. Looks so much better and rides better too! Took a whole day but worth it! I also cleaned and painted my brake calipers red.

Real cheap less than $200! The only hard part was putting them on myself. Took a whole day for my first time. Saved at least $400 from a shop putting them on though! And I painted the brake calipers red while I had my wheels off for that extra enhancement!
